So, I'm starting to hear that BB wanted to move on from Brady, but Kraft wouldn't let him. What do you guys think the odds of that are? If there's any truth to this, do you think we've got a chance of signing Jimmy after the season and moving on from Brady?

yeah that theory has been out in the local media for weeks, it's spread around by a few radio hosts i listen to. I think there is some merit to that theory but as far as I know it's just speculation (good luck finding a named source with ties to the organization say this on the record)

does this answer your last question?

The 49ers can either place the franchise tag on him or sign him to a long-term contract, and speaking to reporters on Tuesday, 49ers general manager John Lynch says the organization intends on keeping him for a "long, long time."

"Look, we want Jimmy to be a Niner for a long, long time, and that process is going to take place here and we're eager to get that done, to have the opportunity," Lynch said.

Lynch said any contract negotiations would not be made public.


the only way I see him leaving is if he's unhappy there and it sure looks like he's happy right now; he's starting games and winning games. As long as Lynch and Shannahan are in place in San Fran I don't see Jimmy leaving anytime soon at all. The one scenario I could see him maybe thinking about leaving San Fran is if they aren't having great success & try to do him like Washington/Snyder did Cousins, that seems very unlikely though. Just my two cents.

^ Of course he's happy right now, but I was just thinking it might be possible that it could have been a ploy by BB. Jimmy goes to x and gets some money and some experience, but when real contract talks begin, he goes back to NE to win his rings lol. Obviously I'm just praying that this is the case, but it almost certainly won't be.

I see the way Jimmy G has played and I'm just endlessly impressed.

But I've questioned Belichick before and he's always proved me wrong.

ie me screaming for a timeout during the SB v SEA, and Belichick said in the interview "something just didn't seem right, so we just played goal line".

Idk what the possibilities are of us getting him back. I could never understand the contract stuff, do 49ers have first rights?

Idk, I love Brady obviously, but fuck Jimmy looks clean.

that would be so fucking awesome, can you fucking imagine what other teams fans' would say if that happened? "Belichick cheated Free Agency!" "Those patriots were in colusion!" "Goodell in bed with Kraft" LOL god that'd be great

idk about "first rights" but he's under contract right now with San Fran so San Fran has the clear advantage of signing him long term/franchising him. Any other team can't legally negotiate with him or it'd be tampering, i'd assume?

It looks like San Franisco won the the trade for now but we won't know for sure until like 5+ years from now at the earliest (to see what Jimmy has done and so see what becomes of our high 2nd round pick we received from San Fran).
